Hi people,

What are the parking bays used for? Who can use them? Are they free
to use?

Red routes are essentially no-stopping environments, but they don't
necessarily apply all day, so it's not surprising that there are parking
bays on some of them for use outside the "no stopping" times. You would
need to look at the plates on lampposts etc. to find out the permitted
hours, and whether they are for parking or just for loading.
